 1. Introduction
 
   This memo was produced by the DHCP Working Group and defines a portion
   of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network
   management protocols in the Internet community.  In particular, it
   describes a set of extensions that DHCP and Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP)
   servers implement.  Many implementations support both DHCP and BOOTP
   within a single server and hence this memo describes the MIB for both
   DHCP and BOOTP servers.
 
   This memo is applicable only to IPv4 addresses.
 
   This memo does not cover DHCP/BOOTP client nor relay agent extensions:
   these are possibly the subjects of future investigation.
 
   This memo is based on the Internet-standard Network Management
   Framework as defined by [RFC1902, RFC1903, RFC1904].
 
   Objects defined in this MIB allow access to and control of DHCP Server
   Software.  Servers MAY also provide additional management capabilities
   through the use of the Applications MIB [RFC2287].
 
   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED",  "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
 
 
 2. Overview
 
   In the tradition of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) the
   minimum number of objects possible are defined in this MIB, while

   still providing as rich a set of management information as possible.
   An object is left out of this MIB when it can be derived from other
   objects that are provided.  Further to the tradition of the SNMP,
   computationally intense operations are left to the domain of the
   management station.  Thus, this MIB provides a set of objects from
   which other management information may be derived.
 
   The examples provided in the following sections are not meant to be
   comprehensive, they are merely illustrative of the potential uses of
   the objects defined by this MIB.
 
 2.1. BOOTP and DHCP Counter Groups
 
   This section describes some of the management information that may be
   derived from the objects provided in the counter groups.
 
   The total number of valid DHCP packets received by the server is
   computed as the sum of the dhcpCountDiscovers, dhcpCountRequests,
   dhcpCountReleases, dhcpCountDeclines, and dhcpCountInforms objects.
   The total number of valid packets (BOOTP and DHCP) received is
   computed as the total number of valid DHCP packets plus the value of
   the bootpCountRequests object.  The total number of packets received
   is computed as the total number of valid packets plus
   bootpCountInvalids and dhcpCountInvalids.
 
   Similar to the received computations, the total number of DHCP packets
   sent by the server is computed as the sum of the dhcpCountOffers,
   dhcpCountAcks, and dhcpCountNacks objects.  The number of packets
   (BOOTP and DHCP) sent by the server is computed as the total number of
   DHCP packets sent plus the value of the bootpCountReplies object.
 
 2.2. BOOTP and DHCP Statistics Group
 
   This section describes some of the management information that may be
   derived from the objects provided in the statistics group.
 
   Given time 1 (t1) and time 2 (t2) greater than t1, the mean inter-
   arrival time of valid DHCP messages for the interval t1 to t2 can be
   computed as (dhcpStatLastArrivalTime at t2 minus
   dhcpStatLastArrivalTime at t1) divided by (valid DHCP received packet
   count at t2 minus valid DHCP received packet count at t1).
 
   Under the simplifying assumption that the capture of packet counts and
   times is discontinuous (that is, for the measurement interval the
   captured data represents the complete set for the server) the variance
   of the mean may be computed as (dhcpStatSumSquaresArrivalTime at t2
   less dhcpStatSumSquaresArrivalTime at t1) divided by (valid DHCP
   received packet count at t2 less valid DHCP received packet count at
   t1).  Standard deviation of the mean is the square root of the
   variance.

   Calculation of statistics for message response time is entirely
   similar to the calculations for inter-arrival time, except that the
   response time objects are used for the calculations.
 
   Calculation of statistics for BOOTP is similar to the calculations for
   DHCP, except that the similar objects from the bootStatistics group
   are used instead of the objects from dhcpStatistics group.
 
 2.3. Server Configuration Group
 
   The server configuration group contains objects that describe the
   configuration information that is contained in the server.  Some of
   the configuration information is static (e.g.: a statically configured
   IP address) and some of the configuration is dynamic (e.g.: an
   assigned DHCP lease).  The intent of the server configuration group is
   to be able to read the server's configuration. Mechanisms outside of
   the SNMP are currently in use (e.g.: vendor defined solutions) and are
   being standardized (e.g.: the Directory Enabled Networks [DEN]
   initiative) to update a server's configuration.
 
   The configuration information provides a minimal set of information
   that most servers should be able to provide.  Each row of the
   serverSubnetTable lists the subnet, the subnet mask, and the subnet
   that is equivalent to this subnet.  Equivalence is defined as more
   than one subnet being present on the same physical media as some other
   subnet.
 
   The serverRangeTable lists the start and end IP addresses of the
   ranges and the subnet which the range is a member of.  The
   serverRangeInUse object indicates the amount of the range that is
   currently in use, either through dynamic allocation or being reserved.
   The range size can be computed by taking the difference of the
   serverRangeStart and serverRangeEnd objects.
 
   The serverAddressTable provides information about the static and
   dynamic addresses that the server contains in its configuration.
   Addresses may be:
 
   o Static, in which case they are predefined though the server's
     configuration.  Static addresses may or may not have been
     previously served by the server;
 
   o Dynamic, in which case the server has served the addresses at least
     once.  Leases which have expired MAY appear in the address list;
 
   o Configuration-reserved, in which case the address is not available
     for the server to allocate to a client.  A configuration-reserved
     address is one that has been reserved by the administrator. An
     example of a configuration-reserved address is an address that is
     assigned to a client, not through DHCP (e.g.: statically assigned),
     and the address is within a DHCP range;  and,

 Internet Draft              DHCP Server MIB               February 1999
 
 
   o Server-reserved, in which case the server has taken the address out
     of use.  Examples of server-reserved addresses are those which have
     been declined (i.e.: through a DHCPDECLINE) by a client or those
     which have responded to an ICMP echo before they were assigned.
 
   The protocol used to allocate the address may be determined from the
   serverAddressServedProtocol object.  This object indicates whether the
   address has never been served (value of none(1)), or, whether BOOTP or
   DHCP was used to allocate the address.
 
 2.4. Response Times and ICMP Echo
 
   According to [RFC2131], servers SHOULD try to determine if an address
   is in use before assigning it.  Some servers choose not to perform
   this check, letting the client determine for itself if the address is
   in use.  Other servers perform an ICMP echo (Ping) just prior to
   assigning an address.  Servers that perform a Ping before responding
   to a DHCPDISCOVER should not include in the response time the time
   from when the Ping was transmitted until the time that either a
   response was received or that the server timed out waiting for a
   response.

 5. Notes
 
   This section will be removed when this memo is published as an RFC.
 
 5.1. Issues
 
   o what is the best way to reset statistics?
 
     o do we need to reset them individually, as groups, or as a whole?
 
   o we need a timestamp of when they were reset
 
   o should all invalid packets received be collapsed into a single
      counter for each protocol type (BOOTP and DHCP), or broken out by
      type of error?
 
   o if counted by error type, what is the set of errors that we should
      use?
 
   o perhaps we should develop a common vocabulary (and glossary) for
      terms such as "abandoned" so that the objects defined and their
      descriptions aren't misinterpreted by implementers.
 
   o do we need to be concerned about the potential size of some of the
      configuration data tables?  Wouldn't it be better to maintain
      counters for things like number of leases assigned than to expect
      the management station to calculate the values by reading very
      large tables to count the number of leases in that state?
 
 5.2. Changes from Prior Drafts
 
   The "-01" revision removed the Server Identity section from the
   proposed MIB, relying on the Application MIB to accomplish the same
   result.
 
   The min/max (inter-arrival and response times) were changed to
   Unsigned32 so that they could be reset.  Sum of inter-arrival and
   response times was deleted since the management station can easily
   calculate them.  The last arrival time objects were added.

 Internet Draft              DHCP Server MIB               February 1999
 
 
   The "-03" version incorporated the proposed configuration tables
   suggested by Ryan Troll of CMU.  The "01" revision of this version
   added three elements to the server subnet table, number of outstanding
   offers, number of addresses in use, and number of free addresses, as
   well as changing subnet address to subnet mask in the server address,
   server range, and client address tables.  The client MAC address
   element of the client address table was separated into a 1-octet
   hardware type and a 16-octet client hardware address, causing a
   renumbering of the elements in this table.  Clarifying text was added
   to several element descriptions, and limitations on values, and the
   reported value when the server did not support the data element were
   also specified.
 
 
 6. Acknowledgements
 
   This document is the result of work undertaken the by DHCP working
   group.  The authors would like to particularly acknowledge the
   development team from Carnegie-Mellon University whose work creating a
   private MIB for their DHCP server inspired the development of this
   proposal. In particular, many thanks to Ryan Troll who provided a
   great deal of useful feedback during the development of this MIB.
 
 
 7. Security Considerations
 
   There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that have
   a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such objects may
   be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some environments.  The
   support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper
   protection can have a negative effect on network operations.
 
   SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment.  Even if the network
   itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is no
   control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and
   GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB.
 
   It is recommended that the implementers consider the security features
   as provided by the SNMPv3 framework.  Specifically, the use of the
   User-based Security Model RFC 2274 [RFC2274] and the View-based Access
   Control Model RFC 2275 [RFC2275] is recommended.
 
   It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
   entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly
   configured to give access to the objects only to those principals
   (users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET
